translated from Spanish: Green Boy’, Noroña, Padierna and 80% of federal deputies want to be re-elected

At least 399 MEPs will seek the re-election of their position in next year’s election. This means that 80% of the current Legislature will campaign to retain its curul, according to preliminary records provided to Animal Politics by the INE and the Chamber of Deputies.
The election management authority determined that legislators should register a letter of intent to re-election no later than midnight on 22 December, given that the pre-campaign period for federal meps begins on Wednesday. However, last night, the federal Electoral Court granted extending the deadline until the first business day of 2021, that is, next January 4.

Among the applicants to retain the position are controversial profiles such as that of Jorge Emilio González Martínez, “El Niño Verde”, of the PVEM, who applied indefinite leave to his curul since April last year; Gerardo Fernández Noroña of the PT, as well as the exerredistas – now petrists – Mauricio Toledo, former mayor of Coyoacán pointed out of acts of corruption, and Héctor Serrano, who was a close collaborator of Miguel Angel Mancera in the Government of Mexico City.
From the morenist bench, the most vast of San Lázaro, it stands out that also seek re-election characters such as Porfirio Muñoz Ledo, former chairman of the Board of Directors; Alfonso Ramírez Cuéllar, who was national leader of Morena; Pablo Gómez, founder of the PRD, and Dolores Padierna, who was senator and general secretary of the Aztec sun.
Other morenists who want to extend their position are Aleida Alavez,; Javier Hidalgo, Lorenia Valles, Lorena Villavicencio and Sergio Gutiérrez Luna – electoral representative to the INE.
On the part of the PAN, Laura Rojas, former chairman of the Board of Directors, signed up for re-election; former dictator Jorge Luis Preciado; Ricardo Villarreal – brother of Luis Alberto Villarreal, accused of the collection of “moches”; former Guanajuato governor Juan Carlos Romero Hicks, and Jorge Romero, exlcalde of Benito Juárez on the CDMX.
For his part, among the priistas who want to re-elect is the name of Luis Enrique Miranda, who was successor to José Antonio Meade and Rosario Robles in the Secretariat of Social Development (Sedesol) during the six-year-old paedo; René Juárez, former governor of Guerrero and former principal of the PRI, and Ximena Puente, who was president of INAI.
Also the former governor of Durango Ismael Hernández Deras, the former founder Héctor Yunes Landa, the former wearer Lucero Saldaña and the former Secretary of Education of Edomex Ana Lilia Herrera.
The PVEM, in addition to the “Green Child”, aspires to be re-elected Carlos Puente, former party leader, and Arturo Escobar, who was investigated by the Fepade for an alleged electoral crime in 2015, when he was undersecretary of Prevention and Citizen Participation of the Segob.
Also, other petistas who want to preserve their curul are former coach Benjamin Robles Montoya and Oscar González Yáñez, formerly the government of Edomex.
To ensure the fairness of the contest and to avoid misuse of public resources, the NSO had established that federal MPs would have to be separated from office in order to campaign.
However, under pressure from political parties, this restriction was pushed back, so lawmakers will be able to retain their curul and access public funds while seeking re-election.
